While communal harmony was the primary theme of the Yatra, the Congress has said the east-west event will also advance ideas of social, economic and political justice.
Congress refusal to attend Ram temple inauguration triggers questions, including one on its post-1996 ideology in face of today's electoral politics. Could it have joined celebrations with Hindu majority while also criticising Modi, BJP, RSS?

Chartered planes will transport VVIPs to and from Ayodhya, it is learnt. More than 7,000 invitees are expected to attend consecration at under-construction Ram temple on 22 Jan.
The inauguration of Ram temple is one of the biggest setbacks to Congress’s brand of 'secular' politics. Modi didn’t change the terms and conditions of his ideological fight to get masses on his side.
Ahead of consecration at Ram temple on 22 January, a team of civil servants, police officers and architects is working tirelessly to transform Ayodhya into a modern temple town.
Awhad, who is part of NCP Sharad Pawar faction, said he 'doesn't make any statement without knowing about it, but doesn't want to fuel the controversy'.

Order for 87 MALE drones will be split between 2 Indian firms in 64:36 ratio to ensure there are 2 independent manufacturing lines with at least 60% indigenous components.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
This is absolutely my thoughts on this political event. As a Hindu, I am ashamed that the teachings of Lord Ram are not being practised by the very same people who are part of this political event. Kindness and forgiveness is looked down as a weakness by the Hindu right. It was wise that the Congress stayed out of this event and dumb of Shekhar Gupta to not realise it. The mosque was nothing but a Muslim temple to pray to the same Ram which the Muslims refer to as Allah. God created humans and humans created religion. Religion was created for mental peace, today it is used to destroy peace.
For 100s of year Indian were followers of Mughals snd then British ideology and first time they woke up and given themselves some identity then so called seculars. Leftists and liberals are feel burnt and jeaolus..why not? They want every Indian to say Zindabad to Babar Aurangzeb and cruel British Raj.
Nothing else than Bashing of Hinduism and Hindu Temples is expected from a Woke Liberal , This is the reason People Don’t give any value to Print and Left liberals who have identity crisis and want the Public to act like flock of liberal sheeps instead of Accepting their Identity be it Hindu or any religion , This article reeks of Absolute Hate for Hinduism and Ram Temple !
The BJP/RSS has started a war within the Sanatani Hindu community itself, by alienating the Shankaracharyas by denying them any role in the consecration of the half-built temple in Ayodhya. It aims to replace the caste dependent RELIGIOUS authority of the Shankaracharyas with the BJP/RSS’s own POLITICAL authority, which will provide a NATIONAL identity dependent, not on caste, but on POLITICAL loyalty to the ideology of Hindutva, and to Hindu Rashtra. Muslims will be disenfranchised and expelled unless they accept a Hindutvavadi redefinition of Muslims as Mohammadi Hindus, or something similar.
This move has been developed over decades of patient ideological and cultural work by the RSS and its institutional family, ranging from education to provide ideological legitimation, to social relief during times of distress, to organizing riots and pogrom. But the left/liberal/secular response to this is utter confusion. This is because they have begun with an understanding of secularism that has proved to be utterly inappropriate for the creation of a polity that can remain at peace in its cultural, linguistic and religious diversity. The left/liberals have done almost none of the cultural, social, institutional, ideological and educational work that could have equipped the mass citizens of this democracy to resist the violence inherent in Hindutva, or build the harmony necessary for societies to accommodate the diversity Bharat needs for her own flourishing. Nor has the left ever tried to build legitimacy for its own aims and ideals, such as the equal dignity of all humans, within a Hinduistic narrative framework.
The power of the BJP/RSS is certain to be consolidated further after the 2024 general elections. But it will not be able to create an economically, socially, politically or ecologically sustainable future for the country with the values enshrined in the Constitution. On the contrary, it will continue ignoring the pressures growing out of the burgeoning inequalities generated by its neoliberal policies. The result will be another rape of Bharat Mata by her purblind devotees.
Komireddy is well-spoken and articulate, as you can expect from these Left-liberals. His accent itself tells you about foreign University impact and thinking. These people have no currency among ordinary people who vote in large numbers. He only makes sense to a few Khan market gangs and people willing to switch passports as long as they get greener pastures in exchange for Identity. The First Indian Constitution believed in pluralism but not secularism, but that word was inserted during the Emergency around the time this nincompoop came into the world.
Print’s failure to hire people from the center of politics or even a right of political opinion is appalling and a scam to its subscribers who don’t clear their stand on politics; they pretend to be centrists to get maximum money.
Leftist are a confused lot. In western countries like Canada and US they advocate for the demolition of statues of the founding fathers of those countries in the name of colonization and here in India they cry a lot if same thing happens. Interesting!
What is wrong with Hindutva being the state religion? Silly secularism is long dead. Modi should declare India as a Hindu Rashtra and get this over with once & for all.
